Final Fire Drill Schedule for September / October 2014

The following dates and times are the schedule for the UCL Annual Fire Drills for the start of term 2014.

BUILDINGS NOT ON THE LIST – please note that if a building your Department occupies does not appear on the schedule, then local arrangements are in place (e.g. Property Landlord / UCLH Trust responsibility) therefore no fire drill will take place under the schedule by the UCL Fire Safety Manager.

FIRE SAFETY TRAININGAs a UCL member of staff, you should have received fire safety instruction and training from your department, starting with your local induction. Starting in October, all staff are required to take the Basic Fire Safety course in Moodle to a defined frequency. All UCL buildings are categorized according to the nature of the fire risks into Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. This dictates how often you need to repeat your fire safety training. For Level 1 this is every four years; Level 2 every three years; and Level 3 every two years. A list of the buildings with their category is contained on the fire safety website.

Action 2: If you have not received fire safety refresher training in the last 12 months, please log in to Moodle using your UCL username and password associated with your email and search for Basic Fire Safety, where you can do the short online course. Given recent fire incidents, it is important for departments and staff to engage in the drills and complete the training, to ensure a safe and compliant working environment for everyone.
